Congratulations to the preschool graduates of Imagine Nation, A Museum Early Learning Center! 🎓❤️

This week, we celebrated 42 amazing preschoolers as they graduated and prepared for their next big adventure: kindergarten!

We were proud to hold this special ceremony at the Boys & Girls Club of Bristol, giving our graduates and their families an opportunity to see what we hope will be their next home after school. From their first days of learning and exploration to this exciting milestone, these children have grown so much and are ready for what comes next.

Congratulations to the Imagine Nation Preschool Class of 2026! We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see all you accomplish.

🍅 Our 3A students got their hands dirty this week planting tomatoes in our garden beds!

Through hands-on experiences like gardening, children learn about nature, responsibility, healthy foods, and the science of how things grow. We can't wait to watch these plants thrive throughout the summer alongside our young gardeners.

🌱 At Imagine Nation, learning happens everywhere, even in the garden!

Now enrolling for the 2026-2027 school year for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years. Come discover why families choose Imagine Nation, where the museum is the classroom.

Learning comes to life at Imagine Nation! 🦜💦

The children in 4A have been learning all about Perrico the Parrot and recently asked, "How does Perrico take a bath?" Mrs. Pac and Mr. Lex helped answer that question with a hands-on demonstration right in the museum!

Our young learners had the chance to watch, ask questions, and even help give Perrico a bath using a pressurized water bottle. It's all part of turning curiosity into discovery and bringing learning to life.

Want to meet Perrico for yourself? Stop by the Children's Museum! We're open Monday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM and would love to welcome your family for a visit.

A huge thank you to the Kindness Warriors for helping us repair our SMARTBoard!

Thanks to their support, our Preschool students were recently able to explore light, reflection, and color through a hands-on learning experience. Using the SMARTBoard, they investigated light sources and discovered how prisms refract light to create beautiful colors and patterns.

We are grateful for community partners like the Kindness Warriors who help make engaging learning experiences possible for our children every day. ✨🌈
